Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and rub it evenly to coat all sides. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes. You can refrigerate for up to 4 hours if you have more time.
Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour the chicken broth into the dish around the chicken, avoiding pouring it directly on top of the chicken skin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The skin should be golden and slightly crisp.
Optionally, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra-crispy skin.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
